My "Invisible" Battle

Hey there! I'm Elizabeth McMahon. I'm 24 years old and I live with Spina Bifida. It's always been hard watching what my fellow classmates were doing while I never knew if a hospital stay was lingering for me. Fighting my own battles every single day... watching the stress impact my family. Through all this I've learned to embrace my voice and use it. It's time to rise up and take a stand. Spina Bifida doesn't control me. I run this show. All I can hope for it a better future of acceptance, assistance, and less stress for those that carry this burden❤️ #SpinaBifidaStrong

I have decided to make a difference for the Spina Bifida Association of Arizona by participating in their Annual Walk N Roll for Spina Bifida!

In 1995, I was born with Spina Bifida Occulta Sacral Agenesis. From then on I've faced so many medical issues. 20 surgeries, 3 birthdays in the hospital, and what feels like a MILLION nights spent in the hospital. On the outside I look completely normal... my condition is "invisible" but not a day goes by I don't fight some battle. My hope is to make this journey easy... more medical coverage, more accessibility, etc. Together we can conquer anything! 

There are 3-5 babies each month in Maricopa County that are born with Spina Bifida. This birth condition has lifelong implications including a high number of critcal surgeries to fulltime wheelchair use. Most young families really benefit from the support offered through the gatherings and programs facilitated by SBAAZ.
